Lobbyist Jack Abramoff says Congress is for hire, and now that the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of "Democracy to the Highest Bidder", America is just another corrupt nation by the wealthy for the wealthy:

Once one of the most powerful men in Washington, Jack Abramoff pled guilty five years ago to buying off Congressional Republicans, tax evasion and fraud, and he served more than three years in prison for his crimes. When Abramoff came out of jail, 60 Minutes producer Ira Rosen was eager to get him to tell our viewers how he did what he did - how he essentially undermined democracy. "This is a guy, who was a major player in Washington, and describes how politics in Washington works," Ira said. "And what the interfacing is between a lobbyist and a politician and how they work together -- and not for the public good."
